What is this food?
AI-assisted Shrimp (giant tiger prawn) — a lean seafood protein. For every 100 g, it has about 93 kcal and is low in carbs and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Shrimp is a good protein choice for building and repairing body tissues, especially helpful in a day with 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks. It’s also low in carbohydrates and sugar. However, shrimp has cholesterol (112 mg) and sodium (129 mg), and it contains some saturated fat (0.23 g). With regular meals, these nutrients are best balanced by pairing shrimp with plenty of vegetables and using cooking methods that don’t add too much oil or salty sauces.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep portions around 1 palm-sized serving per meal (about 80–120 g cooked), then balance the plate with 1–2 cups vegetables and 1/2–1 cup rice or other carbs depending on your activity.
- Choose grilled, steamed, or sautéed with minimal oil. Go easy on bagoong, patis, and salty seasoning.
- If you’re having shrimp as a snack, pair it with vegetables or a fruit instead of salty crackers.
- Since shrimp contains cholesterol and sodium, enjoy it in moderation as part of a variety of proteins (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, beans).
